Default Hi

Hi,

I've been a long time lurker that decided to finally post.

I basically have a big problem with my site (I'll post this in the relevant section with more detail)

I run an online store selling skate gear and it has been going very well over the last few years, appearing in search engines in top position or top 3 for our main keywords.

I've only now just discovered, after trying to work out why our sales have been down, that we have dropped out of google UK results.

We use a .com domain but appeared in google UK results because our old host was UK based. We didn't think of this at the time.

90% of our business is from the UK and while people will just type in what they are looking for we are losing a lot of traffic from not being associated with the UK.

We own the .co.uk domain as well but we don't have anything on it, just a holding page it doesn't even redirect.

Our .com domain is many years old and established and our .co.uk domain has nothing pointing to it and is only 6 months old.

We are very happy with our new hosts, it's been a long time since we had hosting that worked with us so would rather not move.

What can we do to get our UK listings back?

I don't want to ditch the .com domain due to it being established.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
